VOLUNTEERS
Volunteerism is a big deal with making the Body of Christ function. All parts working together for the common good, as St. Paul would say. St Michael's is no different and there have been several members of our community of faith who have recently offered their time and talents for various positions. Gloria Sims-Fargas has accepted the position as the Parish representative on the St. Michael's Day School Board.
Gil Murray has accepted an appointment as Clerk of the Vestry and Ann has agreed to be our new book keeper. There are no unimportant ministries in Christ's Church and we value each person's gift as a blessing from God.
MOTTO: The greatest casualty being forgotten"

SAINT OF THE MONTH
Father Richard Roos
Father Richard Roos comes to us as Sunday Supply (never liked that term"Supply") Priest. Let's change the terminology. Father Richard comes to us as our Sunday Missioner from Jacksonville where he lives in semi-retirement with his lovely wife.
Father has a most lovely cadence and feel for the liturgy and weaves each Sunday's message like a fine tapestry. He is gentle and kind and sings to us each week (a sure sign of his love for us). Fr. R. just oozes the Holy Spirit which is apparent each Sunday as he hangs about to fellowship with us. We are blessed to have Fr. Richard with us for the months of July and August. If you haven't had the privilege of meeting him yet come on a Sunday soon.
